N800 update in red pill mode.

2007-09-16 Thread Huang Shan
Sorry for being so late on this subject.
Stil let me add my experience.

I also updated my N800 in red  pill mode. Here my story
http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8992

There is (at least one) broken library on the nokia site which 
overwirtes your beloved software on N800. The only cure is reinstall.

It is not a quality delivery by nokia.
I did not issue a bug report, probably it is not a bug only a nuisance.
I reported it on meamo-developers mailing list. Either nobody cares or 
the nokia developers do not frequent the devel-mailing list.

From that thread on internettablettalk:-

] I also just did a magic.sys update in the AppManager
] ( I am not sure this has anything to do with the problem).

There is a warning not to update magic.sys. It states that for now it
does nothing sensible, but that in the future it may be a bit like the
apt dist-upgrade. Do not use it. It is a silly package.

It may or may not be responsible for your problem, but it's a good suspect.

I know that I'd cheerfully upgraded everything but that in red pill
mode many times without incident - until the week that the latest OS
came out, when I broke the browser. Maybe unrelated to the red pill,
maybe not.

Under the circumstances, I did a backup and flashed the new O/S.
